Monica Lewinsky Shares Harrowing Tales from 8 Months in Hiding During the Clinton Scandal

Monica Lewinsky, who endured a significant presidential scandal nearly 30 years ago, continues to unveil details from her life during that tumultuous period. The television producer is now promoting the Hulu series “The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox,” which she co-created with Amanda Knox, the American exchange student who faced two trials for the murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher in Italy. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, both women discussed their experiences as targets of public spectacle amid sensational narratives crafted by the media. Lewinsky specifically reflected on the intense public scrutiny she endured during her infamous affair with President Bill Clinton, which unfolded from 1995 to 1997 and captured headlines in 1998 due to the ongoing Whitewater investigation, culminating in Clinton's impeachment that same year.To escape relentless media attention, Lewinsky sought refuge at the Watergate complex in D.C. for eight months, where she faced constant harassment and even feared surveillance.
